Some would say we should choose the most intelligent of the bunch. Others would like the most famous to lead the country and some would prefer to have a religious leader. So what really are the qualifications of a good leader?
When I was a kid I always thought that the most intelligent person in the class is automatically the leader. If you get good grades and if you go to the best school then by virtue of being more knowledgeable academically you are the leader. What happens then if the that person does not know a thing or two about the streets because all he does is study?
Maybe a good leader is exemplified by someone who can boss people around. Definitely a lot of things will be achieved and everyone will be involved in certain activities. But then the leader might abuse his power and use his position for personal gains.
Or maybe the best leader is the person who is also the best follower. Still the best for the position might be that someone who knows the Gospel too well. Or what about the most popular person, he just could be the right leader.
I guess our choice depends on what is important and relevant for us. So can we ensure that our choice is the best option? No, there is really no way of knowing..
